Terrific.

American designer Kyle Buckner’s recent “Lounge Chair” carved from layered pine curves gracefully from foot to head.

Sarah Joncas is set for a busy September. Aside from opening a solo show, Siren, at ThinkSpace (September 3… head here for details), the Canadian artist has also provided new material for Blik Surface Graphics. Her piece for Blik is called “Breathe.”
